Good Afternoon
Is it not cranking over now ?
I woould check if you are getting 12 volts to the starter , it may just be a bad connection at the battery

Afternoon,
It's cranking over. Cranked over fine this morning and about 20 minutes ago when I left work. I stalled going up my driveway and just won't turn over now. I can try testing at the starter

Then you need to check for fuel and spark ,is it low on gas ? did you try moving it to where its flat and see if it will start ?

Then check spark and if you have spark and fuel then check the timing belt

Turn over fine just now. Not sure why. Maybe fuel or something got stuck and it needed to sit? Not sure but it turns on fine now no check engine light. Going to wait a few hours to see if it's fine later as well. Probably going to change the spark plugs out either way just to be safe

That is strange . could have been the [fuel pump](/topics-fuel-pump-honda/) not turning on possibly bad fuel pump relay , but this is just a guess hard to check when its working

Strange indeed. That's also true. I'll keep an eye on it! Hopefully not the furl pump though. Don't want to have to drop the tank change that out
